It's amazing how the Internet has offered great opportunities for people to communicate better and for long lost friends to find each other. I recently got in touch with my primary school best friend through Facebook and I cannot be thankful enough for it. Social networking sites such as Facebook have done wonders in bridging distance gaps among people and making virtually everyone you know searchable and accessible.
That's exactly what happened with me and my childhood best friend, Julie. I was surprised when I logged in to my Facebook account and saw that I got a message from someone who was not yet in my Facebook friends' list but whose profile photo was very familiar.
I immediately opened the private message and was extremely thrilled to find out that it was really from Julie, who said she saw my name and picture on one of her contacts' friends' list and wondered if it was really me. Julie and I lost touch after our fifth grade when her whole family moved to New York. Because the Internet was not yet prevalent at that time, we easily lost touch with each other. But that's not to say that I didn't miss her. I remember crying every night then because I had lost my "best friend in the whole wide world" and my parents had to regularly take me to amusement parks to cheer me up.
So you can just imagine what a pleasant surprise Julie's Facebook message to me was. I added her to my friends' list and we exchanged Skype info, and since then we've been chatting and updating each other with what went on with our lives since we got separated. Our online communication not only bridged the distance between us, it also merged the time gap that separated us. Now, Julie and I feel like we've never been separated. We know so much about each other now as if we'd lived our lives together through all those years.
Julie is now married and lives in Singapore with her husband and twin daughters. Often during our webcam chat, Julie complements me for what I'm wearing and asks me where I buy my clothes. She particularly loves the sweaters she sees me wearing and repeatedly asks me where she could buy the same sweater.
I taught her how to find Alloy.com coupon codes online so she could order the sweaters she wanted as well as choose from the online shop's vast line of apparel and other accessories. I told her that using the Alloy.com coupons will really give her the best deals on my purchases, which is exactly the reason why I always use such discount codes when I buy my clothes from Alloy.com.
Julie said she'll follow my suggestion and look for some Alloy.com promo codes she could use to buy the sweaters she's adored on me every time she sees me on her computer screen.
